Coldcard losses reached $114 million in 4 attack waves!
An old vulnerability in the Coldcard wallet firmware caused weak seed generation, and the attackers were able to compute the private keys without even touching the device.
From July 30 until now: - More than 1800 bitcoin withdrawn - Over 5200 addresses impacted - And the fourth wave is still ongoing
The biggest issue is in Single-sig; the Multisig is fine so far.
If you have a Coldcard (especially Mk3, or any device where you created a Seed before the last firmware update), do the following immediately: 1. Update the firmware 2. Create a new Seed on the updated version 3. Move your funds
Self-custody is strong, but vulnerabilities exist. Don’t underestimate them.
#baby $BABY Today I tested the public testnet of Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV) from @BabylonLabs_io and honestly, the idea is very strong.

The date for the final vote on the CLARITY law in the U.S. Senate is approaching very quickly.
The window is extremely narrow before the August recess, and the last practical chance to vote is around August 7. If the bill doesn’t pass now, it could be delayed to September or beyond.
The law clearly defines the SEC and CFTC’s powers to regulate digital assets and is considered one of the most important pieces of legislation for the crypto industry this year.
Rising speculation about SpaceX SPCX shifting to a wireless communications network operator via Starlink Mobile Direct-to-Consumer service, with the potential to compete with companies like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
The stock fell by about 3.8% to close near $108, amid pressure ahead of the first earnings report since the IPO on August 4 and as part of the stock-sale lockup period nears its end.
The ambitions include expanding direct service to regular phones and building broader networking capabilities, but execution, competition, and regulation will determine the real impact.

Apple (AAPL) Reaffirms Itself: AI Spending Limits Have Become a Benefit
While competing companies spend hundreds of billions on AI data centers, Apple chose a completely different path.
Very low capital expenditure compared to Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta Strong cash flow + share buybacks Investors are fleeing the "AI race" and moving toward Apple
The result? Shares rise +0.37% in pre-market trading after a strong day on Friday, and the stock is near its all-time highs.
#AIFearsSink10SP500StocksOver40% Fear of artificial intelligence caused 10 stocks in the S&P 500 index to drop by more than 40% in 2026, while the index itself rose by about 8.28%.
Investors strongly bought AI stocks (especially chips and memory) and sold shares they feared AI would destroy, particularly in software, consulting, and advertising.
The 10 worst-performing stocks through late July 2026 1. CoStar (CSGP): -58.86% 2. Intuit (INTU): -55.27% 3. The Trade Desk (TTD): -54.45% 4. Boston Scientific (BSX): -53.59% 5. Cognizant (CTSH): -45.24% 6. Accenture (ACN): -45.21% 7. Lululemon (LULU): -45.01% 8. Gartner (IT): -44.31% 9. Insulet (PODD): -42.56% 10. AppLovin (APL ): -41.83%
- Most were hit by a "SaaS-pocalypse" after Anthropic launched a new model in February 2026, as investors feared AI would reduce demand for traditional software and consulting. - Intuit was hurt by cheap AI tax tools that compete with TurboTax. - Accenture and similar companies saw clients shift spending toward AI rather than traditional consulting.
As for the worst two stocks (CoStar and Boston Scientific), they fell for reasons unrelated to AI (excess spending, growth issues, competition, and product recalls).
#OilDropsAbout6% Oil falls by about 6-7% today Reason: attacks between the US and Iran stopped during the weekend, so people removed the risk premium from the Strait of Hormuz.
Brent fell to around 89 levels, and WTI to 83-84. This is the lowest price in a week, but still much higher than levels before the tensions.
The market saw it as a sign of temporary easing, and the futures rose.
